[Verse 1]
Em Am
Was that somebody's scream, It wasn't me for sure
Eb Cm
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows, Put my feet on the floor
Gm Cm
I Cut my wrist on a bad thought and head for the door
[Verse 2]
Em Am
Outside on the pavement, The dark makes no noise
Eb Cm
I can feel the sweat on my lips leaking into my mouth
Gm Cm Em
I'm heading out for the steep hills, They're leaving me no choice
[Chorus]
Am C G Dm F C G Dm
And see...as our lives are in the making
Am C G Dm F C G
We believe through the lies and the hating
Dm Am C Dm
That love goes free
[Verse 3]
Em Am
For want of an option I run the wind 'round
Eb Cm
I dream pictures of houses burning never knowing nothing else to do
A# F Cm
With death comes the morning unannounced and new
[Verse 4]
Em Am
Was it too much to ask for to pull a little weight
Eb Cm
They forgive everything but greatness, These are scoundrel days
Gm Cm Em
And I'm close to calling out their names as pride hits my face
[Chorus]
Am C G Dm F C G Dm
And see...as our lives are in the making
Am C G Dm F C G
We believe through the lies and the hating
Dm Cm A# Am Ab Cm A# Am Ab
That love goes free through scoundrel days
[Instrumental]
Cm A# Am Ab (2x)
[Verse 5]
Em Am
I reach the edge of town, I've got blood in my hair
Eb Cm
Their hands touch my body from everywhere
Gm Cm Em
But I know that I've made it as I run into the air
[Chorus]
Am C G Dm F C G Dm
And see...as our lives are in the making
Am C G Dm F C G
We believe through the lies and the hating
Dm Am C G Dm F C G Dm C
That love goes free Through scoundrel days
